Father, Open my ”Spiritual Eyes”...

Couple of weeks ago, we saw Jesus open the eyes of the blind man…   the whole chapter is about the healing and how the leaders of the temple trying to disprove that this happened…. And how Jesus led the blind man, the salvation.

Opening of the eyes – is not new… in fact, Bible records how Jesus healed the blind man/men – 3 times…

God is not just opening the physical eyes, He wants to open our spiritual eyes…

In Luke 4:18 – Jesus says…

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind,  To set free those who are oppressed...

Today – we are going to talk about opening – our spiritual eyes…

God has to open our spiritual eyes to see what He sees…

Paul teaches us to pray in Ephesians 1:18,

And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the ^[a]hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the ^[b]saints (God’s people),

It is like God saying – I am going to give eyes to your heart to see… Then your heart begins to see.   Even though you feel like – He is far away… You can know that He is close to you.   Your heart will know – how our God loves you like Crazy.
